The Director of the Mine Action Centre, Oto Jungwirth, thanked Canada for its support to mine removal projects in Croatia.
Marr said that one of the main goals of his ambassadorial term would be to intensify economic relations between Canada and Croatia.
From June 2001 until the end of 2004, Canada donated through its International Development Agency over a million US dollars to strengthen the capacities of the Croatian Mine Action Centre.
Marr said he was pleased that Canada had been providing assistance in mine removal operations in Croatia and added that the cooperation would continue.
